Thank you to NetGalley and Aia & Aries for the ARC! I so wish this was the full novel as I loved what I read so far. I will definitely keep my eye out for when it comes out so I can finish it.

If this extract is anything to go by I will be raring to read the full book. An easy chatting style of writing that is very readable. It grabs you and keeps you turning the pages.

Thank you for the opportunity to read an extract of this novel. This sounds intriguing so far and I expect that this will unfold to be an enjoyable book that is worth a read.

Thank you to Netgalley, Aria & Aries, and Kathy Lette for an advance extract copy of The Revenge Club.

It’s hard to base my rating solely off two chapters but I can guarantee that these two chapters will suck you in and have you begging for more. I’m so excited to meet these characters in greater detail, especially Jo. I feel like this is going to be a hot read this spring and I know it’s definitely on my TBR!

Thanks you Aria & Aries and NetGalley for the extract of ‘The Revenge Club’ by Kathy Lette.

The excerpt quickly sets up the characters with each being distinctive. The excerpt jumps right into the plot and excerpt ends at a cliffhanger that wants me to keep reading. It is hard to tell how a book will go with just one chapter though but I did enjoy reading it.

From the first two pages I knew this is the style book I love to read. The sharp wit, blunt humor, and champion of women banter grabbed my attention immediately.
Although the extract was twelve pages, I quickly fell into step with the characters. They are so contrasting and quirky, yet mesh together well. The depth and personalities are notable as I found myself trying to decide who I saw myself in most.
These girl friends meet up after a fallout many years back where quite a little twist unfolds.
I will say the writing style is a bit jarring at times due to the heavy Aussie emphasis (#Americanproblem), but it settles in quite well once the story starts to unfold. I'm definitely left wanting more and can't wait to get my hands on the full book for some much needed 'girls rule/rue the men' fun.

This review is based only on an EXTRACT of the book provided by Aria & Aries on NetGalley.

The cover and the title of this book peeked my interest immediately!

This book appears to be a bit Sex in the City and a bit First Wives Club where a group of friends reunite for lunch after some time apart. They soon learn a shocking surprise from one of them and alas, the seed was planted with Revenge on the menu!

I enjoyed the wit and humor including the self deprecating kind, which had me giggling. The end left me with a cliffhanger that I can’t wait to read more about!

To be continued…

Thank you Aria & Aries and NetGalley for the chance to read!

The excerpt was so fun! I was immediately sucked into the characters and wanted to know where the story was going to go. The writing is sharp and funny even in these first 12 pages. If the rest of this book is this fun, I will definitely be picking it up as soon as it comes out!

Can’t wait to read the full book, this sounds like just my cup of tea and the extract was engaging! It’s of course hard to judge fully from an extract but I’m hoping for a five star read!

Having had the pleasure of diving into Kathy Lette's latest creation, "The Revenge Club," I can't help but join the chorus of excited readers who found themselves hooked from the get-go. Lette's signature writing style, a perfect blend of humour and cheekiness, shines through, making this book an absolute joy to read.

The journey begins with a bang as the end of Chapter 1 takes an unexpected turn, leaving me genuinely surprised and hungry for more. Lette manages to establish a quick pace that keeps the narrative engaging and fun. The banter between the characters is sharp, and their personalities leap off the page. The twist was a masterstroke, catching me completely off guard and leaving me desperate to uncover the layers of the story that remain hidden.
"The Revenge Club" is shaping up to be a delightful, hilarious, and addictive ride. Kathy Lette's storytelling prowess has left me with an insatiable appetite for more, and I eagerly look forward to immersing myself in the full novel to discover the twists, turns, and laughter that lie ahead for Matilda, Penny, Cressida, and Jo.

What a great extract? I was drawn right in and now I want to read the whole book. This author is new to me, and having me laugh aloud within the first few pages, I can't wait to check more of her work out!

Really great twist, looking forward to this actual release. Can't wait to see the dynamics unfold, and believe this will be one on many TBR lists.

I really really liked this Extract. It kept me engaged the entire time and it was interesting how the one character changed her whole appearance just to get revenge. Can't wait for this book to come out so I can read it completely and to find out what happens. Thank you to the author, publisher and net galley for allowing me to read this in exchange for giving my opinion.

I have only read a short extract but would like to read more.
It has the Kathy Lette trademark humour of her magazine columns.

This review is based on the extract ONLY.

I really enjoyed this extract of The Revenge Club. You can immediately tell this story is filled with so much drama. It follows the story of 4 girlfriends on a reunion. You can just tell SO much is about to unfold from just that short portion.

Having read one chapter as an extract, I am hooked!

The extract is intriguing and mysterious. Who does Jo/Joe want revenge on, and why does she/he need to live "as a man" to extract it?

I'll definitely be looking out for this book when it releases.
